Ti = Autonomy and Automation:
1.1.sec = The movement of "open source," "peer-to-peer", blockchain, CommonAccord ("P2P") is about to engulf transacting.
1.2.0.sec = P2P is arriving in the context of:
1.2.1.sec = the massive centralization and automation of production, marketing, transport and finance ("supply");
1.2.2.sec = the internet of things coming to life; and
1.2.3.sec = artificial intelligence becoming at least as good as humans at most tasks required to run an automated system of supply.
1.2. = [G/Z/ol-i/s3]
1. = [G/Z/paras/s2]
2.1.sec = The conference will explore a simple, legally-enabled approach to P2P which we think has substantial advantages, notably in security, safety and legitimacy.
2.2.0.sec = The foundations are:
2.2.1.sec = A peer-based approach to records and transacting;
2.2.2.sec = A flexible "object model" for legal relationships; and
2.2.3.sec = Wikipedia-like sharing of forms, boilerplate and other text.
2.2. = [G/Z/ol-i/s3]
2. = [G/Z/paras/s2]
3.0.sec = Technically, this is based on:
3.1.sec = the CommonAccord data model as a format for transaction records;
3.2.sec = cryptographically-secured access to records; and
3.3.sec = blockchain-based automation (smart contracts) and proof.
3.3.Note = Validation may be often be done by "trust-providers" such as trustees, banks and authorities rather than "trustless" validation, for confidentiality and information security reasons. Trustless validation, however, is needed in some situations and will reduce opportunities for trust-providers to exploit their position.
3. = [G/Z/ol-i/s3]
4.sec = We expect the focus of the the conference to be presentation of projects and discussion to raise awareness among legal, business and government leaders of the impact of this codified, peer-based approach to law and transacting.
